SAN FRANCISCO -- Frankie Ferrari made a key 3-pointer as part of a big San Francisco run late in the second half, and then added a clinching layup with 58.5 seconds remaining, and the Dons held on to beat No. 15 Saint Mary's 70-63 on Thursday.
Ferrari finished with 20 points and seven assists, Jordan Ratinho scored 13 and Jimbo Lull had 10 points and seven rebounds to help San Francisco (15-13 7-8 West Coast Conference) to its first win in five games against ranked opponents this season.
It was a bitter loss for the Gaels (24-4, 13-2), who lost their second straight and dropped a game behind No.
